Had some new tyres on me mighty tratter this week. The old ones had uneven wear (soft terrain, bad choice, was younger then) and were causing loadsa vibrations. Cooper AT3 fitted (Goodrich were too rich for my blood) and I'm very happy, is a different veehikle.
Only downside is it's easier to hear my beloved and so must engage in conversation..

Here's a tree along the street from us looking pretty in yellow and orange:
The trouble with trees in urban areas is that when they start looking bigger than the houses people cut them down. So I'm making the most of it while it lasts.
I've not had much Land Rover stuff to show you lately because it hasn't needed much doing to it. However, in a couple of weeks or so I'll be replacing the seals and gaskets on the transfer case, and after that I have a suspension bush kit to fit, as I last did them over eleven years ago and it's about time to do it again. So I'll have some pictures of all that to share I expect.

Don't they have TPOs or nasty neighbours where you live then?
We do!

Got a couple of snagging jobs finished this morning, left when I replaced the garage roof about 18 months ago. Replaced the rain water down pipe with a slightly longer one to reach the gulley and binned the cut-off ketchup bottle that had been bridging the gap. And fitted a soffit board above the garage door, using a bit of surplus fascia board cut to size.
Im off out I will get a pic later if I remember.
On a side note did you sell your defender? and did you take my diffs out for me?

I dug 2 oles in 2 9" walls today wif a Dewalt hammer drill (mains powered) its been good and has had plenty of use.
There's a time and a place for mains powered tools.
But I do love the convivence of the battery powered tools I have, and these days they are getting so much betterer.

Nobody's mentioned cutting down that particular tree in my earshot, but over the years I've lived here the more handsome trees in the neighbourhood have a habit of disappearing. Once it's done it's done, and no amount of stiff letters from the local authority can bring them back.
We find that the council blankets all trees on common land with TPOs no matter how dangerous they get. And telling them a tree is dangerous, which apparently you have to do BEFORE damage to your property occurs, just results in rude letters simply saying "Tough and if the tree does cause damage you had better be able to prove it in court. "
However if a neighbour complains about the height of a tree, if it hasn't got a TPO on it, they moan and moan so you have to make absolutely sure it cannot possibly be seen as part of a hedge.
Result is we have only a couple of trees on our property, but the council has several right next to our fence, one with a branch massively overhanging our land.
I've a funny feeling I have posted about this before.
Anyway, we have a nice row of low, thin copper beeches, more like a hedge really, dividing parts of our garden and they look really lovely now!
Before all the ECO-Warrior agenda kicked off this street was a tree-lined thoroughfare.
The Council in its wisdom decided that they CBA to clean the streets the falling blossoms every year were a danger to the public, so they chopped all the trees down. You can't make it up. Trees gobble up CO2, greenhouse gas, so were of a positive benefit. World is mad.
